Thanks, Amy! As we went through his papers, my niece and I found a card that you sent him after he sent your family a framed picture of his eagle photo! You may recall you shared a photo of a moose :).

Bev, what a beautiful picture you’ve shared of your father and the confidence he had in accepting that it was time to let go! This can be such a challenge for some and I was so glad that Dad had peace and that we could be with him in his final days and moments. Blessings to you and your family!
